What to Bring to Your PSI Insurance Exam (Oklahoma & Arizona)

September 11, 2026 · PassReadyPro Team

Both Oklahoma and Arizona use PSI to administer their insurance licensing exams, and PSI's test-day rules are strict enough that a surprising number of candidates lose time — or their exam fee entirely — over something avoidable. Here's exactly what to know before you go.

Quick answer: Bring one valid, government-issued photo ID with your name, signature, and photo. Arrive early. Bring nothing else into the testing room.

Identification

PSI requires a valid, government-issued photo ID — a driver's license, state ID, passport, or military ID — that shows your name in the English alphabet, your signature, and a recognizable photo. Expired IDs and most temporary IDs aren't accepted. If your specific exam requires a second form of ID, bring a credit card or another photo ID as backup.

Double-check that the name on your ID matches the name on your PSI registration exactly — a mismatch (a recently changed last name, a missing middle name) can get you turned away at check-in.

Arrival time

PSI's general guidance is to arrive 30 minutes early for check-in. Oklahoma's own candidate bulletin specifies 15 minutes — when the two disagree, treat the time on your specific confirmation email as authoritative, and when in doubt, err on the early side. Arriving late generally means forfeiting your exam fee and having to reschedule.

What you can't bring into the testing room

PSI doesn't allow personal items in the testing area, including:

Phones, smartwatches, and other electronics
Bags, purses, and backpacks
Food and drinks
Notes, study materials, or reference books
Bulky outerwear (in most locations)

PSI provides secure storage for anything you need to leave behind — you won't have access to it again until you're done testing.

Calculators and reference materials

Personal calculators generally aren't allowed. If your exam includes math that requires one, an on-screen calculator is typically built into the exam software itself. Confirm on your state's PSI candidate page before test day if you're unsure.

Rescheduling and cancellations

If you need to cancel or reschedule, do it with as much notice as possible — Oklahoma specifically requires at least 2 days' notice or you forfeit the fee. Arizona's cancellation window may differ; check your confirmation email for the exact cutoff.

If you fail

You generally can't retest the same day. Oklahoma has no cap on retakes (just a new fee each time). Arizona allows up to 4 attempts per line of authority in a 12-month period before a 1-year wait applies. Either way, you can usually schedule your next attempt within a day or two, subject to seat availability.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use my phone as a calculator during the exam?+

No — phones aren't allowed in the testing room at all. If your exam requires calculations, use the on-screen calculator built into the exam software.

What if my legal name recently changed and my ID doesn't match my registration?+

Update your name with PSI before test day if possible. A mismatch between your ID and your registration is one of the most common reasons candidates get turned away at check-in.

Is remote online testing available?+

PSI offers remote proctoring for many exams in both states, in addition to physical test centers. Availability depends on your specific exam and location — check PSI's candidate page for your state when you schedule.

Does this apply to adjuster exams too, or just producer exams?+

The same PSI test-day rules apply across producer and adjuster exams in both Oklahoma and Arizona — only the question count, time limit, and fee change by license line.
